My Favorite Sugar Cookie (From Better Home and Garden Step by Step cook book)
½ cup butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
1 egg
¼ cup milk
½ tsp vanilla
2 ¼ cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp nutmeg (or ground mace)
Cream together butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, milk and vanilla. Stir in baking powder, salt, nutmeg and flour until soft dough forms. Chill for 1 hour (optional). You may need to add more flour depending on where you live. Roll out on a floured surface about 1/8 to ¼ inch thick. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 375 for 7-8 minutes for thin cookies and 10-12 minutes for thicker cookies. Enjoy:) I use my cinnamon roll frosting for these cookies.

Mmmmmmm! I made these and the texture is PERFECT! I think I'd use less nutmeg next time, but my friend likes the nutmeg. Thanks for the recipe.
I am so glad you like them. I like nutmeg but ginger gets to me. I usually use less ginger in things. Glad you liked them.
I made these without nutmeg this time. I used 1/4 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp almond flavoring. Turned out perfect!!
